The Trump Administration Just Made Their First Move Against Hillary Clinton

As international crises brew and tensions skyrocket across the world, one would think that the United States State Department – left critically understaffed by a President who would rather rely on his unqualified family members to conduct diplomacy – has their plate full.

Trump’s new friend, King Salman of Saudi Arabia, just upended the line of succession in an unprecedented move in a doubling down on the campaign to isolate Qatar and their disastrous war in Yemen. North Korea is testing missiles with alarming regularity. The United States has shot down a Syrian regime jet fighter and two drones in defense of our allies leading the charge against ISIS and Russia has threatened to begin shooting down our planes.

But given the way that the Trump administration has been drunkenly stumbling from one disaster to the next without a care for the consequences, one can hardly be surprised that Rex Tillerson’s State Department has decided this would be a good time to open another investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

FOX News has jubilantly announced that a formal inquiry has been opened into whether or not Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while she was Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013 in an attempt to strip her of her security clearance, as confirmed by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

They are sick, disgusting, evil scum. Grassley is impotent and senile. I bet he's slobbering over this.
